Some old MAR files will not contain the SIGNATURE block nor the FileSize field. Old parsers simply skip over these fields because they ignore everything between the MAR header and the offset given in the OffsetToIndex field. | Some old MAR files will not contain the SIGNATURE block nor the HEADER.FileSize field.
